I have found two problems with using the dmix alsa device name. 1) snd_pcm_hw_params_can_pause (params) causes alsa-lib to assert!
2) Sound is broken up. a) It can only function with 2 periods, why is that? Having 8 periods might be better, although "front" works fine with 2 periods, but "dmix" with 2 periods fails. b) Of the 2 periods, it sounds like sound is only being played from one of the periods, with silence for the other period.
Summary: - If I use device name "front", there are no problems with sound output. If I use device name "dmix", there are the above problems.
Cheers James
